Beyond immediate industry adoption, A*STAR is engineering the science that will redefine manufacturing for the future. By combining AI, automation and high-throughput experimentation, our researchers are accelerating breakthroughs in areas such as sustainable fuels and advanced materials. These frontier capabilities are paving the way for new industries and supporting Singapore’s ambition to lead in sustainable and resilient manufacturing worldwide.
Agentic AI, or AIMie, demonstrates how human–AI collaboration can enhance manufacturing operations. The system reasons, adapts and coordinates tasks in real time, supporting operators in predictive maintenance and planning. By interacting with AIMie, users experience how agent-based AI can improve efficiency, resilience, and decision-making in complex environments. As part of the Sectoral AI Centre of Excellence for Manufacturing (AIMfg), AIMie points the way to more intelligent, resilient, and adaptive factories of the future.
